Critical reception

After its release, Winds of Creation received positive reviews from music critics. Matthias Sheaks of AllMusic said " songwriting is extremely solid; even in the first listen, songs such as the manically frenzied "Blessed" and the beautifully haunting "Dance Macabre" stand out and away from the strange dissonance of "The First Damned" and the call-and-response riffage of "Nine Steps."
